RYA Connected Conference
On Sunday 30th November Robert and Tom attended the RYA Connected Conference in Southampton representing our club. The theme of the conference this year was volunteering, with a range of sessions around supporting and encouraging volunteers. Some great ideas around volunteering (and some other areas) have been brought back and are currently being discussed by our committees.
ITCA Open Coaching
Calling all Topper sailors. This winter's ITCA Open Coaching can now be booked. There is a slightly different format this year with coaching running across five weekends at five different clubs! There are options for booking Saturday or Sunday sessions. The next weekend is 20th/21st December at Poole Yacht Club.
For more details please look at the ITCA calendar or speak to Sally or James.
How to Stay In Touch
Don't forget a really good way to stay in touch with other members is our Whatsapp Community, there are different groups within the community for each of our main classes, as well as the SYT Parents Group and a Kayaking/Paddleboarding Group.
